public class AgentK_Offering
extends OfferingStrategy

This is the decoupled Offering Strategy for Agent K (ANAC2010). The code was taken from the ANAC2010 AgentK and adapted to work within the BOA framework. OPPONENT MODEL EXTENSION The strategy was extended to incorperate an opponent model. Previously, in one case a random bid was chosen from a list of candidates; this was replaced by selecting the best bid for the opponent. In the other case, the strategy chooses the best bid for the opponent from the set of all possible bids with a minimum target utility.
